Operating Hints
For optimal performance and RF reception:
• Turn off your computer’s power management feature
while charging the mouse so that your computer does
not enter sleep mode as this will halt the charging
process.
• Avoid using the mouse on a metal surface. Metals,
such as iron, aluminum or copper, shield the radio
9
Targus Wireless Stow-N-GoTM Rechargeable Notebook Mouse
frequency transmission and may slow down the
mouse’s response time or cause the mouse to fail
temporarily.
• If your computer has a metal case that contains
aluminum or magnesium, use the mouse to the side.
The display panel may interfere with the radio
frequency signal if you use the mouse directly in front
of the computer.
• Never use the mouse on a glass or mirrored surface as
these surfaces will cause the mouse to fail temporarily.
• To maximize battery life, use the mouse on a light
colored surface. Dark surfaces cause the mouse’s light
emitter diode (LED) light to glow brighter, which causes
the battery to discharge more rapidly.
Comfortable Usage
Research suggests that physical discomfort and injury to
nerves, tendons, and muscles may be related to
repetitive motion, an improperly set up work area,
incorrect body posture, and poor work habits.
To reduce the risk of injury, follow these precautions:
• Stand, stretch, and move around several times every
hour.
• Switch hands while performing tasks. Use shortcut
keys to avoid repetitive or awkward mouse
movements.
• Relax your shoulders and keep your elbows at your
sides. Adjust the keyboard’s position so that you don’t
have to stretch to reach it.
10
Targus Wireless Stow-N-GoTM Rechargeable Notebook Mouse
• Adjust your position so that you don’t have to bend
your wrists to type; avoid placing your wrists on a sharp
edge.
If you feel discomfort or numbness in your hands, wrists,
arms, shoulders, neck, or back while typing, consult a
qualified medical professional.
Troubleshooting
What do I do if the mouse does not work?
• Make sure that the polarity of the battery is correct. The
positive (+) and negative (-) ends of the battery must
match the positive (+) and negative (-) connections in
the battery housing.
• Make sure that the mouse is fully charged and your
computer is on and awake. Before you start, turn off
your computer’s power management feature while
charging the mouse.
• Check that the receiver’s USB connector is firmly
attached to the USB port on your computer.
When I use the mouse, other wireless devices
work more slowly or fail temporarily – what
should I do?
• The mouse has 256 IDs to prevent interference.
However, some interference may still occur if there are
multiple radio-based devices, such as a telephone,
baby monitor, or toy nearby.
• To reset the connection, press the reset button at the
bottom of the mouse. See “Switching IDs”.
11
Targus Wireless Stow-N-GoTM Rechargeable Notebook Mouse
• To reduce interference, move the mouse’s receiver and
the base unit of the affected device as far away from
each other as possible.
• Adjust the angle of the antenna on the side of the
receiver.
